Yeah Barney We went and the place was packed. It was like watching college teams, the lines were  big and fast. Receivers would actually hold on to the ball when it hit them in the hands. I think Baylor made too many mistakes in the 2nd qt. and it got away from them. I don't think there are any publics that could compete with these last two. I've never seen a game like the last one. The other two looked about average but not the last one.  

Baylor had several costly drops

To find a crowd like that last night to see two teams play you would have to go back to the day's when Knoxville High and Central High played every Thanksgiving Day at Neyland Stadium.

I seriously thought about going but knew traffic and parking was going to be HORRIBLE. Sat in my recliner and enjoyed the TV Broadcast.

Game was all I expected. (picked the winner too)

Oakland-Riverdale had a few games in the late 90s that drew 20k, back when Murfreesboro had only 2 HS

Actually it wasn’t all that bad we got there about5:30 course we left at the end of the 3rd. But we parked in the north parking lot. Walked about 50 yards and went right in. Sitting on the 35and close to important things like concessions and bathrooms.

3-0 Yesterday and 3-0 on the games today. I've watched them all and every game has been great to watch. Two great nail bitters today for sure.

7-2 for the state championships. Missed the last two but pooring rain really messed with the playing of those last two games.

2023 has came to an end and I ended up with record of 430-104 for a 80.5 percent.  Last year I was 384-103 for 78.9 percent. That's not to bad if you think about it. Doing this every week without the aid of any newspapers or a Murphy Fair Book to even go by the past two years. I'll put my trophy up to look at all winter and work on crossing the 85 percent mark in 2024.
